BUTLER, Pa. (AP) — State police say two Pennsylvania adults are facing charges in the accidental shooting by a 10-year-old boy of his 11-year-old brother in the leg after the two thought they heard an intruder.

Police say the two boys were in their Butler home alone Sunday afternoon when they thought they heard a noise in the basement. Police say they retrieved a gun in one room and loaded it with ammunition they found in another room, and at some point the weapon discharged, hitting the older boy in the lower left leg.

A listed number for Gaiser couldn't be found and a number listed nearby for Bowser was continuously busy Tuesday.
